Role overview
job description
the manufacturing leader is responsible for supervising and coordinating daily manufacturing operations, ensuring product launches, engineering changes, and production activities are executed safely, efficiently, and according to quality standards.
this role leads manufacturing teams, supports technical problem‑solving, validates processes, oversees documentation, and drives continuous improvement. Additionally, the manufacturing leader collaborates with engineering, quality, maintenance, tooling, and laboratory teams to ensure stable processes, correct parameter settings, proper equipment calibration, and successful implementation of new products and workflow updates.
key responsibilities
* lead daily production operations and ensure team performance, discipline, and productivity.
* plan and allocate manpower to meet production targets and customer demand.
* support the execution of new product launches and weekly engineering changes.
* validate production parameters, ensure correct documentation, and guarantee laboratory releases.
* coordinate tooling requests, equipment calibration, and workflow updates.
* monitor production kpis and implement corrective actions to improve safety, quality, delivery, and cost.
* support troubleshooting and collaborate with engineering, quality, maintenance, and tooling teams.
* ensure compliance with safety standards, operational procedures, and quality regulations.
* drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on process optimization and cost reduction.
* promote strong communication between shifts and across cross‑functional teams.
requirements
* 2–5 years of experience in manufacturing operations or production leadership.
* experience supervising production teams in metal‑mechanic, semi‑rigid, machining, or heat‑treatment processes.
* experience coordinating daily operations, resolving deviations, and supporting engineering changes.
* knowledge of manufacturing processes: metal‑mechanic, semi‑rigid, machining, heat treatment
* experience with production kpis (oee, scrap, downtime, throughput)
* root‑cause analysis tools (5 why’s, ishikawa, pdca)
* blueprint reading and interpretation
* familiarity with creo parametric and autocad (advantageous)
* knowledge of measurement tools and calibration requirements
* understanding of safety, quality, and process control standards
what we offer
* opportunity to lead new product launches and engineering changes in a dynamic production environment.
* hands on participation in machining, tooling, laboratory, and metal mechanic process optimization.
* strong collaboration with production, quality, tooling engineering, and laboratory teams.
* professional growth through engineering projects, documentation development, and troubleshooting activities.
